Introducing iMix: the hands-free colour mixing tool for gel polish & nail lacquer

Shave off the precious minutes at the start of a nail appointment spent rolling and shaking product bottles with imix, a super handy hands-free mixing device.

imix alleviates the stress on the wrists through regular shaking and mixes your gel polish and lacquer formulas for perfect application – so you can enjoy chatting to your client and prepping their nails for a fabulous colour finish.

Why mix?

Mixing a gel polish or lacquer before use is essential in order to mix the pigments and other colourants, which can settle. Product ingredients including plasticisers, polymer resins, solvents, suspension agents, colourants and stabilisers can start to separate if left on a shelf or in a kit bag for more than 24 hours, so mixing or shaking is required so these ingredients can work together to produce the best result on the nail plate.

How it works

A true talking point, the imix is slick in appearance and simple to use. Plug in, drop one of the miXers into any bottle of gel polish or lacquer and pop the bottle on the launch pad. Press the button and the imix will use magnetic technology to blend the product for a streak-free finish.

Shaking by hand – no matter how vigorously – may not produce an even mix or mix from the bottom of the product bottle. The miXers, however, work the entire formula. What’s more, the process reduces wasted product, mixing until the last drop.

“Sexy, colourful, quiet, simple and minimal, imix is a lacquer and gel polish colour blending game-changer for the nail professional,” comments Samantha Sweet, co-founder of Sweet Squared, distributor of imix. “Not only does this device mix polishes beautifully for an absolutely flawless application, it also takes the pressure off the wrist and alleviates the effects of carpel tunnel syndrome.

“The slick and simple design works with any salon décor and sits neatly on nail desks for a mixing experience like no other.”

imix’s lighting display can be programmed to reflect your favourite shade while it works; a jazzy addition to your nail desk.

Step-by-step

1. Drop a miXer into your bottle and place onto the imix launch pad.
2. Tap the on/off imix button and watch as the imix blends and develops polish (or gel polish) back to its true colour.
3. Start painting.

The imix is accompanied by miXers and a miXtractor. The miXers are reusable and can be easily removed from the product bottle after use with the miXtractor, which attracts the miXer magnetically. Glide it up and out of the bottle and clean the miXer with acetone before using in another shade.

Priced at £54.95 + VAT, the imix includes 10 miXers, a miXtractor and USB cable with instructions. Additional miXers are available in packs of 20 or 50.
